New Portland Register* 

1902. 
HISTORICAL. 

The town of New Portland is located in Somerset county, State of Maine. 
It is bounded on the north by Kingfield and Lexington, on the east by Embden, 
on the south it joins Anson and New Vineyard, and on the west it is bounded by 
Freeman. The west line and also a part of the south line of New Portland is the 
county line between Franklin and Somerset. 

The middle point of New Portland is about 5 minutes south of the 45th paral- 
el of north latitude. The 70th meridian of longitude, east of Greenwich, passes 
through the village of North New Portland. 

NATURAL FEATURES. 

The natural features of New Portland should not be overlooked. Located 
only a short distance to the east of the principal range of mountains of Maine, 
and in full view of three of the six highest mountains of the state, viz: Mt. Big- 
elow, Mt. Abraham and Mt.* Saddleback, it is, as would be expected, somewhat 
hilly. Its soil is of clay and sandy loam and is most excellent for agricultural 
purposes. There are many excellent interval farms. It can be truly said that 
New Portland is one of the very best farming towns in Somerset county. No 
lakes are found in the town. There is one small pond of some 50 acres extent. 
One small mountain is present. Of the several hills, Everett hill, about one mile 
south-east of West village, is the highest. From this elevation on a clear day 
the White mountains of New Hampshire are plainly visible, and from this hill 
and the several others in town, a varied and extensive scenery that is hard to 
excel is unfolded to the eye. 

While New Portland is essentially an agricultural town this is not its only 
characteristic. Its waterpower, though not so extensive as is found in other parts 
of the county, furnishes many desirable plants, and should be utilized to a greater 
extent than is being done at present. One particular feature of New Portlands 
water system is found at the "Falls," so called, ( East New Portland). At this 
point the Carrabassett furnishes one of the best smaller stream powers to be 
found in the county, though it is utilized only in part at present. It is owned 
and operated by A. W. Starbird. The dam now in use is not so designed as to 
make use of any considerable part of the power; though at extreme low water it 
will furnish at least 150 horsepower, and in spring and fall its power is practically 
unlimited. A new dam is contemplated. A good opportunity is offered here 
for some manufacturing concern to utilize the undeveloped power. 

At the West and North villages are not found so good facilities for develop- 
ment, yet the waterpower is sufficient to supply all needs and is as yet not en- 
tirely developed. There are three gristmills in town. One is operated by Moses 
Mitchell at West village, one at East New Portland run by A. W. Starbird, and 
the third is at North New Portland and is operated by D. H. Knowles. The three 



4 NEW PORTLAND KEGTSTER 

saw mills run by waterpower arc as follows: at the "Great Works" by D. M. But- 
ler, at the Kails by A. W. Starbird, and at North New Portland by H. A. l'luni- 
mer and Benj. F. i.artlett. At the West village on Lemon stream is found a good 
power utilized by John Metoalf in running his shoe shop. W. W. 

Jordan runs a carding and novelty mill, utilizing a good power located about 40 
rods above the shoe shop and tannery above mentioned. Much more might be 
done with the waters of the Carrabassett and Lemon stream by parties having 
the necessary enterprise to attach them to the wheel. It is hoped that circum- 
stances may develop in coming years to bring about this result. While it has not 
a monopoly of those natural features which in this day of industrial development 
are so important New Portland is nevertheless well favored. Its excellent scen- 
ery, its healthful climate, its fertile fields, its excellent pastures, wooded hills 
and its good water-privileges not only make it a good place to go from but make 
it a good place to come to and live in. 

EARLY SETTLEMENT. 

New Portland was first settled in March, 1783, by David Hutchins of Alna, 
Me., he having moved there a short time previously from Chelmsford, Mass. Mr. 
Hutchins eiected the first log cabin in town in 1783, at a point about forty rods 
east of the present residence of Mrs. Asaph Hutchins and her son-in-law, Mr. 
Chas. H. Nye. Our informant tells us that Mr. Hutchins and his family were 
considerably concerned about what they should do with that part of their goods 
which they must leave behind till after their return from their first journey to 
their new home. A friendly (?) Indian suggested that their best course was to 
bury them. Accepting this as a solution of the problem they so acted. On their 
return the goods in question, which were of so much value to the brave settlers, 
and upon which depended so much of the success of this family in its effort to 
penetrate the 36 square miles of forest, now transformed in New Portland, were 
gone. Little doubt was entertained as to who was responsible for the loss. This 
however was only an incident in the experience of this nobleman of nature whose 
perseverance, uprightness of character and excellent judgment made for him 
success in an effort fraught with the greatest danger and hardship. 

The second settler was Capt. Josiah Parker, a Revolutionary soldier, who 
came to this region soon after his discharge from the army. He lived for more 
than sixty years on the farm now owned by Hiram F. Weymouth, though we are 
told that a man named Wilson "took up" the farm. Capt. Parker was the owner 
of the first plow, the first harrow, and the first set of joiners' tools in town, and 
was also the owner of the first brick kiln. He married Betsey Walker on Feb. 
19, 1789. This was the first marriage occurring among the settlers. Capt. Parker 
was a highly respected citizen. He died at the age of 93 years. Ebeu Richardson 
was the next settler, who came the same year as Capt. Parker, and settled on the 
James Butler place. He too was a soldier of the Revolution and was with Arnold 
in his expedition through Maine to Quebec. The next settler was Nimrod Hinds. 
John Churchill came in 1787 and located on the farm now owned by John Knowl- 
ton. Eben Carsley came next in 1788 and settled on the William Walker farm. In 



HISTORICAL 5 

1789 Zepheniah Williams settled on the farm now occupied by Kben J. Walker. He 
stayed only a short time selling to Solomon Walker. Samuel Gould came in [789 and 
located where Andrew J. Davis now lives. John Taylor came in 1789 and started on 
the R. G. Dennis farm. Mr. Taylor built a log cabin on the interval near the Car- 
rabassett. In 1792 William Churchill came and settled on the Eli Hutchins place. 
In 1795 many settlers came and the increased numbers meant much for the town. 
Among the names of the new comers of this date are John Batchelder, Elder 
John Locke, Caleb Boynton, Peter Norton, Paul Pratt, Capt. Kenj. Noyes, and 
others. In 1797 Ruben Hill came to New Portland. In the same year Robt. York 
settled on what was formerly called Hodsdon hill, now known as Bray hill. Reu- 
ben Rand settled on the Cutts farm in 1798. He soon sold to Aaron Allen. Moses 
Safford came in 1798 and started on the Jones farm. In 1800 John Dennis bought 
and moved onto the Frank Caswell farm. Josiah Everett settled on the Enos 
Hutchins place the same year. He was also a Revolutionary soldier and sailor as 
well. He was twice made prisoner and was held a captive on the British prison 
ships. We have endeavored to give an account of the early settlers down to about 
1800. However we do not claim absolute accuracy in the matter as the records will 
not permit, but hope that the reader may obtain some idea of the founders of our 
town from the reading of the above. About 1800 many new arrivals are recorded. 
Among the same are found the prominent ones of Elliott, Hamlin and Hanson. 
John Elliott, one of this number, started the place called the Great Works. One 
of our former townsmen writes of him: "He was a great mill builder' and was 
always looking for mill priviliges. His wife overhearing a discussion about 
there being land and water on the moon's surface said excitedly, 'Oh, do not tell 
Mr. Elliott for he will go there and get a mill-site.'" Soon after the arrival of 
the Elliots, Hamlins and Hansons came the Waltons, Flings, Dyers, Drummonds, 
Sawyers and many others. The settlement now so thoroughly begun could not 
be stayed. Rapidly the clearings appeared. At first a small spot about the 
"Falls" and a narrow tract in the southern part of the town constituted the set- 
tled portion. However about the time of the arrival of the last named settlers, 
cabins arose and clearings appeared along the line of the road on the north side 
of the Carrabassett, and before this time, as we have seen, some effort had been 
made to settle the western part. The north part of the town was settled at a 
later date, just what year the records, so far as the writer has been able to learn, 
do not state. The settlements in most cases were permanent ones. Gradually the 
forest succumbed to the hand of the pioneer, and out of the thirty-six square 
miles of wilderness came the town of New Portland— the gift of progress. 

ORGANIZATION. 
For nearly forty years after the settlement of New Portland the State of Mas- 
sachusetts owned the territory of this state, which was known till 1820 as the 
District of Maine; and the General Court of Massachusetts had general supervis- 
ion of the affairs of the District. On the ninth of March, 1791. by act of the 
General Court of Massachusetts a grant of two townships, No. 2 and No. 3, north 
of the Plymouth Company's lands and west of the Kennebec River, was made on 
petition of "Enoch Ilsley and others" sufferers of Falmouth ( now Portland). 



6 NKW PORTLAND KKGISTKR 

For more than a decade nothing was done toward organization. However in 
1804 we find that an attempt was made to form a political government. In De- 
cember of the year 1804 the plantation of East Portland was organized. The first 
meeting was held at the dwelling house of Capt. Josiah Parker on the seventh 
of December, 1804. At that meeting the following officers were chosen: Modera- 
tor, Josiah Parker; Clerk, Henry Norton; Assessors, Henry Norton, Samuel Gould, 
and Josiah Everett; Collector Gersham Hamblin. The next meeting was held at 
the residence of Henry Norton on Mar. 4, 1805. On Mar. n, 1805, the inhabit- 
ants of this plantation made petition to the General Court of Massachusetts for 
incorporation in the following terms. 

PETITION. 

To the Honorable Senate and House of Representatives of the Common- 
wealth of Massachusetts in General Court assembled: 

Your Petitioners, inhabitants of Plantation No. 2, in Range Second West of 
Kennebec River, commonly called East Portland, humbly sheweth — That we la- 
bour under material disadvantages in our present Uunincorporated State, by be- 
ing Subject to Taxation without the benefit of Taxing Non Resident Land for the 
purpose of Supporting Roads, as the Roads are extremely bad and no legal meth- 
od by which they may be amended in an equal proportion, Likewise the neces- 
sity and real want of a Legal appropriation for the use of Schools, with many 
other considerations too numerous to mention, have Induced us to prefer this pe- 
tition, praying that we with the Said Town & its inhabitants therein may be In- 
corporated Into a Town by the Name of New Portland, with all the privileges & 
authority of all other Incorporated Towns & as in duty bound will ever pray. 

Signed at East Portland this nth of March, 1805. 

Henry Norton, David Hutchins, Andrew Ellet, Sam'l Gould, John Churchel, 
John Dennis, Robert York, Reuben Rand, Samuel Richardson, Josiah Parker 
Peter Norton, Clement Hayden, Gersham Hamlin, James Hutchins, John W. Ellet, 
Josiah Carsley, William Churchel, Josiah Everett, Clark Whittier, Benj. Burnel, 
Samuel Fling, Ward Spooner, Solomon Walker, Reuben Hill, Samuel Moore, 
Levi Gorden. 

It is learned that an act of incorporation passed the General Court on March 
5, 1808. The act bears the signatures of Perry Morton, Speaker of the House, 
and Samuel Davis, President of the Senate. It was signed Mar. 9, 1808, by Hon. 
Jas. Sullivan, Governor of Massachusetts. The first warrant for a town meeting 
was posted on April 5, 1808; and the meeting was held at the residence of Clark 
Whittier on April 20, 1808. The officers elected were as follows: Moderator, Jeri- 
miah Hilton; Clerk, Henry Norton; Selectmen and Assessors, Aaron Allen, Sam- 
uel Gould, and James Hutchins; Treasurer, Josiah Parker; Collector and Con- 
stable, Clark Whittier. 

SUBSEQUENT HISTORY. 

From the time of the above mentioned transactions down to the present 
the usual events in the progress of towns located in a similar way followed 
in the career of New Portland. A few years after the incorporation in 1808 



HISTORICAL / 

came a period of intense hardship and suffering of which mention is made 
elsewhere. In about 1812-16 there was a great reduction in the population, large 
bodies of citizens going west. But after the return of plentiful crops in 1816 
hopes of the settlers began to revive and soon prosperity followed. Year by year 
developments were made, the population increased, the lands were improved 
more and more. Trade of all kinds was built up, schools were instituted, 
churches were built, justice was maintained, and the general welfare of the peo- 
ple was provided for after the manner of the times in which they lived. Steadily 
in times of peace and of war the town moved along its quiet path, always furn- 
ishing its full share of men for the councils of war and of peace. Of its excel- 
lent millitary record mention is made elsewhere. 

Her various industries which were built up from year to year varied accord- 
ing to the demands of the times. Much attention was given at times to wool 
raising, and at other periods stock-raising was one of the chief industries. But at 
all times the town has depended upon her agricultural facilities and they have 
never failed her. Her population is industrious and well-to-do. Her property 
is of a fairly good value. Her tax rate is low, paupers are almost unknown, and 
legal controversies are not a part of her record. 

In common with other towns New Portland suffered severely in the time of 
the Civil War and some time was required for recovery; but the prosperous busi- 
ness years following the civil strife gradually restored her to prosperity. For 
many years business was excellent and some of the most prosperous years in the 
history of the town came in the fifteen or twenty years after the war. Prices 
were high; the demand for goods was large and there was in no branch of busi- 
ness a surplus product. Mills were in operation, the farms were cultivated and 
trade was at a high pitch. Though there was not a hamlet in the country, from 
one extremity to the other but had felt the ravages of war, the country was pros- 
perous, the people active. In 1876 a very severe fire visited the West Village; 
but new structures soon arose and the village resumed its role of trade and manu- 
facture. 

On July 4, 1883, occurred an event of interest. It was the celebration of the 
100th anniversary of the town. It was held at the residence of Asaph Hutchins 
and was participated in by a large gathering of people. The president of the 
day was W. H. Stevens. Capt. Zenas Vaughan was marshal, Rev. Leonard 
Hutchins offered the prayer, Samuel V. Spear was toastmaster, Hon. Abel Davis, 
a former resident of New Portland, now of Pittsfield, delivered the oration, which 
was a very able effort. Mr. Davis was listened to with rapt attention, as an inci- 
dent cited by one present at the time will show. During the delivery of the ora- 
tion by Mr. Davis a shower gathered and broke upon the assemblage. One aged 
citizen occupying a seat on the stand arose and held an umbrella over the head 
of the speaker till he had closed. In spite of the heavy downpour of rain hardly 
a person left the audience till Mr. Davis ceased speaking. It was a gathering on 
the scenes of the labors of the first settler, made historic by his sturdy and per- 
sistent struggle against climate, famine and wild beasts, and was a day of intense 
enjoyment, full of significance for all. 



° NEW PORTLAND REGISTER 

The twenty years which followed this event have not been years of unmixed 
prosperity for New Portland. Certain developments in Somerset and Franklin 
counties are responsible for the change. In 1883 consideration of the location of 
the proposed railroad from Farmington was taken up. After many protracted 
meetings in which much was said for the railroad and, strange to say, much was 
said against it by some of the townspeople, circumstances developed which de- 
prived us of the advantages accruing from railroad connection with the 
outside world. How far this misfortune may be responsible for the changes oc- 
curring since that time is hard to estimate, but that it deprived us of many op- 
portunities for development cannot be denied. It is hoped that the coming years 
have something in store for the town to repair in part at least the damage caused 
by the iron road going around us. 

The last decade has few events not already mentioned that are of interest. 
The disastrous fire at No. New Portland which is mentioned later was a blow to 
the town, but one from which it quickly recovered. But otherwise only the ord- 
inary events have occurred. 

And now at the close of these few lines in which we have briefly surveyed 
the history of our town what shall we say of New Portland! We are proud to be 
her citizens, jealous of her interests, mindful of her fair name and ever desirous 
of her prosperity. 

MILITARY MATTERS. 
New Portland's part in military matters is one of which she can be justly 
proud. No town of her size has responded more loyally nor done more efficient 
service. The men who made up her quotas were men of soldierly qualities and 
never failed to do their whole duty when the opportunity was presented. The 
closing scenes of the Revolutionary War were being enacted while New Portland 
was yet a wilderness, yet many men who served in that struggle became a part of 
the population of New Portland and so identified with her interests that we 
claim the honor of their services. Many of this number are mentioned elsewhere. 
In the War of 1812 and in the Mexican War New Portland was well represented. 
In the Civil War which drew the most blood and which was fraught with the 
gravest consequences of all our wars, New Portland never faltered in the dis- 
charge of her whole duty. We venture to say that few towns of her size did 
more in that momentous struggle that did New Portland. Her record is an hon- 
or to the town. The following is a list of the men engaged, corrected as carefully 
as circumstances will permit: Samuel Berry Jr., Thomas P. Williams, Zeuas 
Vaughan, Beuj. B. Kilkenny, Frank L. Emery, Benj. F. Thompson, Ai Clapp,

LEMON STREAM LODGE, I. O. O. F. 
One of the objects of interest in New Portland is Lemon Stream Lodge, I. O. 
O. F., No. 55. It was instituted in the year 1848, five years after the beginning 
of Odd Fellowship in Maine. The following were the first officers: Noble Grand, 
Abram P. Spooner; Vice Grand, Simeon C. Hanson; Recording Secretary, Na- 
thaniel E. Wright; Treasurer, Lemont Spooner; Permanent Secretary, Geo. A. 
Fletcher. From 1848 the lodge gained steadily for some years in membership 
and finance. The first home of the lodge was in the hall over Gould & Spooner's 
store, and this continued to be its meeting place until 1876. 

During that severe trial for Odd Fellowship in Maine from 1850 till after the 
close of the Southern struggle many lodges in the state gave up their charters. 
Not so with Lemon Stream Lodge. It struggled against every hardship till 1869 
when it was reduced to twelve members, the "Old Guard." This number kept 
up its organization and carried it through to the times of prosperity, which were 
not far hence. Though badly crippled by the fire of 1876, it has never faltered 
since the times before the'"7os" and is now most favorably situated. It owns two 
well fitted, good styled buildings at New Portland, and has a good sized sum laid 
by for future use. 

The following is a table showing expenditures from its organization to 1897: 

Sick and funeral benefits #4,592-9 6 

Watchers for the sick 737- 10 

Charitable purposes I 4-°° 

Expenses of Lodge 1,809.16 

For buildings I ' 5°°' 

For good work done in the community by this institution much praise is due. 
The present officers are as follows: Noble Grand, Chauncey Dyer; Vice Grand, 
Jonathan Luce; Secretary, Nathan C. Burbank; Financial Sec, John G. True; 
Treasurer, Wallace A. Hall.

INCIDENTS OF EARLY TIMES. 

To some of our citizens the story of hardship and privation traced by the 
pioneers of our town is a familiar one; but every year the number of those thus 
familiar is growing smaller. Soon that story will seem in our ears only "a 
dream in the far distant past," and may be forgotten by the coming generation. 
It therefore seems but appropriate at this point to make note of some few inci- 
dents which show the character of the early settler himself and the nature of the 
times in which he lived. 

Soon after the organization of the town in 1808 scarcity of crops caused great 
suffering. It is said by one that the greatest scarcity was before the maturity of 
crops in 1816. Four days' work was given by the laboring classes for a bushel of 
wheat. In this same year as high as $1.00 was paid for a peck of seed corn. Caleb 
Stevens went from Kingfield to Waterville and gave four days' work for a bushel 
of corn, and brought it all the way from Waterville to his home on his shoulders, 
to keep his children from starving. Six to nine dollars a month was the highest 
wage paid the best of men. Girls were glad to work out for fifty cents a week. 
Money was hardly ever seen. Labor was in almost no demand. This was indeed 
a period when the settler found that the path of the pioneer is a hard one. To 
come into the forest, take up a farm and establish himself and family upon it 
was an undertaking of no small proportions. Deacon John Butts walked all the 
way from Haverhill, Mass., to this region in 1813, a distance of three hundred miles, 
in six consecutive days. This seems almost incredible, yet it is vouched for most 
thoroughly. For these men of sound physique and iron will it was a common 
thing to travel five or six miles to their day's work, and carry home at night two 
bushels of corn, wheat or meal, upon their shoulders. The labor that those men 
performed in those days seems to us in this period of invention and labor-saving 
appliances to border on the impossible. But with the facts before us we can only 
say that they were men and women born for the special purposes of the times in 
which they lived, and ably and well did they do their work. 

While the Indians were on the whole friendly to the settlers, the animals 
were many and fierce, and the settler had to contend with them a great deal. 
Though wolves and small animals were present the bears were the most trouble- 
some. Sheep were an especial prey to these animals, yet a previous writer tells 
us that in 1803 a four-year-old steer, belonging to Mr. Benj. Burnal was caught 
and killed by a bear. One incident in which Bruin was concerned serves to show 
the spirit of our pioneer mothers. Mrs. Cynthia Hutchins, the daughter of Josiah 
Parker, and the first white female child born in New Portland, in company with 
her children made a friendly call at the McLaughlin place about one-half mile 
from the Fast New Portland postoffice. Having accomplished part of their re- 
turn Mrs. Hutchins became aware of the presence of a bear following them 
closely. In an unconcerned manner she told her children to make all speed for 
the cabin. They, accustomed to obey, did as they were bidden, though utterly ig- 
norant of the reason for the command. The courageous mother seized a cudgel 
which lay by the path and kept between her children and the" beast and kept him 
at bay. The bear loitered about the clearing that night and wrought havoc in 



HISTORICAL n 

the sheep-fold, but the presence of mind of the fearless woman saved her child- 
ren from the jaws of their pursuer. Many incidents of a similar nature, too 
numerous to mention, are recorded, and all serve to impress upon our minds the 
bravery and daring of those who prepared this region for the developments of the 
later years. 

And while we are citing incidents which show the noble and fearless nature 
of the people of those days we must not forget that they were human "like as 
we are" today, and that, as a previous writer well says: "People were not all good 
then any more than they are now." We give herewith an incident told by the 
same writer, quoting in full. "One William Quint 'squatted' on the Millay hill. 
Mr. Millay claimed to own the land and ordered Quint off. Quint refused to go. 
One day when Quint was away from home Millay came and ordered his wife out 
of the house. Mrs. Quint was thoroughly charged with the belligerent spirit of 
her husband and refused, shut the door and fastened it. Millay soon climbed the 
castle of logs and began a warfare by throwing cartridges down the chimney 
into the fire which exploded to the great terror of the children. He then called 
out to Mrs. Quint, asking her if she would leave. She replied no, without par- 
ley. Down came more cartridges, up went the cries of the frightened children; 
down came a second demand of surrender, up went the defiant refusal. He next 
tried to descend the 'Catstick' chimney, but he had only got part way down 
when the warlike woman emptied her straw bed upon the fire. He scrabbled 
and crawled out for "dear life," but not before he became nearly smothered with 
smoke and so badly singed that he made the woods ring with his howls of pain. 
It is not probable that he undertook again the uugallant act of turning a woman 
out of doors." 

No accounts of depredations by Indians are recorded though many Indians 
were found in the early days of the town. Nearly all were friendly to the whites. 
However, as might be expected, some few incidents are recorded where little 
episodes took place showing the characteristics of the Red Mail in his lawful 
home and of the sturdy and fearless settler in the wilderness. As is well known 
on the arrival of David Hutchins, in 1783, a branch of the Norridgewocks was 
installed near the banks of the Carrabassett, on the Interval now owned by 
Hiram F. Weymouth. Their chief was Piepole so well and favorably known in 
the region of the Carrabassett and Sandy rivers. This band was on the whole 
very friendly to the settlers. On one occasion according to one of oar older citi- 
zens even Pierpole exhibited one of the traits of the Red Man as we are accus- 
tomed to think of him. In a 'trade' between Pierple and David Hutchins Jr. the 
latter was to tender the former a peck of potatoes. In the cabin of Pierpole 
were assembled David Hutchins Jr., Samuel Hutchins, Pierpole, his squaw, Han- 
nah Sussup Pierpole and others. The chief made a request for delivery of the 
produce, the same having been delivered once. Mr. Hutchins replied that he 
had delivered the goods. Pierpole denied it in emphatic terms. The squaw ap- 
parently fearful of the result of the dispute, by a sign to Mr. Hutchins intimated 
that he would find the potatoes under the "forestick." Mr. Hutchins quickly 
siezed the "poking-stick" and scattard the potatoes on the mud floor of the 



12 NEW PORTLAND REGISTER 

cabin. Aroused by tbis exposure of his treachery the lusty savage rushed upon 
Mr. Hutchins. But the latter, a fine example of the pioneer, towering in 
strength, being almost a giant in size, and as fearless as he was strong, quickly 
raised the trusty "poker" and in stern tones of command ordered the chieftain 
to advance not another step under peril of his life. The chief wisely concluded 
to obey; and undoubtedly upon recovery of his calmer self heartily regretted 
this outburst of treachery and rage. 

Pierpole is said to have taken up his abode in the town of Strong on 
the banks of the Sandy River, about the close of the 18th century. In general 
he was trusted by the settlers and had many transactions with them, usually 
acquitting himself with honor; but his Squaw, Hannah Sussup, was ever jealous 
of the advance of the whites, and always suspicious of their motives. She con- 
stantly urged Captain Pierpole to leave the scene of the relentless efforts of the 
pioneer. No account of his last days is on record. Tradition has it that he was 
last seen in this region one evening drifting down the Sandy River in a bark 
canoe. • 

These few incidents and the many others that have come down to us 
from the past portray something of the character of the sturdy pioneer of 
the town of New Portland. As a previous writer says: "They took nature 
for a guide. * * * They lived with nature and their character was formed to 
imitate it. The woods was their home, and who can live in the grand old forests 
of Maine without having instilled into them the grand ideas, the grand and ma- 
jestic principles by which our ancestors were actuated and guided. Their work 
shall prove them, and long after they are dead and gone from among us, and 
shall have been forgotten, their lives, dedicated to the work which they did, and 
stamped with an individual stamp, which can never be erased, shall ever con- 
tinue to bear fruit. The effect of a good deed once done, of a heroic action once 
performed, can never be erased. So the example of their lives will continue to 
be felt till this town and county shall have been swept into oblivion." 

INTERESTING FACTS. 

The first white male child born in New Portland was David Hutchins, son of 
the first settler. He was born on the well-known Asaph Hutchins farm, on Sept. 
8, 1783. 

The first white female child born in New Portland was Miss Cynthia Parker, 
daughter of Capt. Josiah Parker, a Revolutionary soldier. She was born on the 
Hiram F. Weymouth place on Jan. 3, 1790. 

The first bridge built in New Portland was erected at "The Falls," by Wm. 
Churchill. It was framed by Capt. Eenj. Cleveland. This bridge was carried 
away in the freshet in 1832. In 1835 Stephen Morrill built the second bridge on 
the site of the first. Jonathan Houghton was the framer. 

The first framed house was built by Capt. Josiah Parker. It is at present oc- 
cupied by H. F. Weymouth and has been thoroughly remodeled. The same tim- 
bers are retained. The bricks contained in the chimneys and arches were manu- 
factured only a few rods from the house on the "Interval," and it is said that 
some 40,000 were required in the structure. Capt. Reuben Hill built the first 



HISTORICAL 13 

brick house in town. The first churchw as built at West Village by the Uni- 
versalists. The second was built at the "Falls" by the Free Will Baptists. The 
third is the Union House built at West Village. The first minister reared in New 
Portland was Samuel Hutehins. The first sermon was preached in Capt. Farker's 
house by Elder Stoueman in 1798. The first Quarterly meeting was held in the 
residence of Capt. Parker. The first school in town was taught by Lucy Emery, 
about 1802, and was held in Capt. Parker's shed. The next was taught by Lucy 
Gould. The first schoolmaster was John Gore, the second Richard Peavy. The 
first lawyer was Jas. T. Leavitt Esq, who practiced at West Village, and after- 
wards went to Skowhegan. John H. Webster was the next lawyer. He stayed a 
few years and then went to Norridgewock. Dr. Freeman was the first physician. 
The first trader was Joseph Jennings, who started at the "Falls." Tobias Church- 
ill, who traded on the Titcomb farm, was the next. At West Village the first 
'was Gen. S. P. Strickland who built a store in 1822. A Mr. Hackett was the first 
to offer goods for sale at North New Portland, in about 1830. Leonard Greaton 
was the first tailor. Chase Butler was the first harnessmaker. John Dennis was 
the first blacksmith. Moses Safford was the first house joiner. Clark Whittier 
was the first wheelwright. The first mill was built by Benj. Noyes at the "Falls" 
in 1797. The second was built at the "Great Works" by John Elliott about 1805. 
Mr. Elliott also built the first girstmill in town. It was located on the opposite 
side of Lower Stream from where the sawmill was built. The site has since been 
used by J. M. Burbank and others in the manufacture of shovel handles. The 
first road turnpiked in town was located in the vicinity of the Hiram F. Wey- 
mouth place. It was built in about 1S10. One of the first county roads in this 
vicinity was built in 181 1, and was called by our settlers the "Rangeway." It 
followed very closely what is known at this time as the "South Road." The first 
postoffice was at the West Village. Nathan Hanson Esq. was the first post- 
master. The first mail route through this town was from Anson to Phillips, and 
the mail was first carried by Libben Hatch over the "Rangeway." The first 
cemetery was on the Josiah Parker place. The first representative to the Gen- 
eral Court of Massachusetts was Samuel Hutehins, the second Henry Norton, 
the third James Hutehins and the fourth Dr. Ward Spooner. Our delegate to 
the Constitutional Convention was Henry Norton. New Portland voted for sep- 
aration from Massachusetts by a vote of 29107. She voted against the constitution 
by a vote of 15 to 9. Gen. S. P. Strickland was the first member of the Execu- 
tive Council, the next was Rufus K. J. Porter and the next Jos. M. Dennis, who 
served two terms.

A BRIEF SURVEY OF THE PRESENT. 

The village of New Portland, commonly called West New Portland, is located 
on Lemon stream about three-fourths of a mile from its junction with the Carra- 
bassett. It is sixteen miles north of Farmiugton and is about twelve miles north- 
west of North Anson. The village is pleasantly located on the banks of the 
above mentioned stream, and between two hills locally known as Clark hill and 
Bennett hill. 

The gristmill at this place is operated by Moses Mitchell. W. W. Jordan 
runs a carding and novelty mill at this place, making use of another good water 
privilege. A short distance below the gristmill is located the shoe shop owned 
by John Metcalf. The last named industry was previously run, with a tannery 
connected, by H. Clark & Co. It was for many years a leading industry in the 
town, giving steady and lucrative employment to about twenty workmen. Owing 
to changing conditions in the boot and shoe world within a few years the com- 
pany was gradually forced to suspend operations. The shoe shop, run a part of 
the time by John Metcalf, is still manufacturing the well known riveted mocca- 
sin of which this firm has sole right of manufacture in the United States. On 
Lemon Stream, about one mile and one-half above the "West" is found the saw- 
mill of David M. Butler. This mill occupies almost the same site where John 
Elliott built a mill soon after his arrival in New Portland from Turner in 1803. 
Mr. Butler does considerable business in long and short lumber, shingles, etc. 
About two miles west of the village J. Chick & Sons operate a steam sawmill and 
have built up a good business in the past few years. 

Though New Portland is not what it was a quarter of a century ago it still 
has a large trade, drawing it from a large surrounding area of excellent agricul- 
tural territory. Sumner W. Elliott occupies the two stores formerly occupied by 
John Metcalf and Nathan Saunders, and is doing a large business in general 
merchandise. He commenced doing business in the '8o's and in the subsequent 



PRESENT 15 

years has won a host of friends and patrons by his genialty and fair dealing. 
Directly across the street in the large and commodious store, occupied for many 
years by W. Ricker & Sons, Christopher C. Hoyt is doing a good and increasing 
business in general merchandise. Mrs. Hoyt runs a popular millinery in con- 
nection with the store. The business was opened in 1899 and is under the person- 
al direction of Charles E. Hoyt, the son of the proprietor. The rapidly increas- 
ing trade is sufficient proof'of the good standing and popularity of the concern. 
During the past few years John Metcalf has conducted a good trade in the under- 
taker's line. Royal D. Blaisdell is proprietor of the Hotel Blaisdell, a house 
well known to the traveling public. 

The village of North New Portland, about twenty miles north-west of 
Skowhegan, and six miles north-east of West New Portland village, is located on 
what is known as Gilman Stream, about two miles from its junction with the 
Carrabassett. This stream rises in Lexington and furnishes a good waterpower for 
North New Portland, which is utilized in part at this time by the following: 
Bartlett& Plummer's sawmill which was built upon a site that has been occupied 
nearly ever since the settlement of the village; the birch novelty mill run by Chas. 
H. Bartlett, and D. H. Knowles' gristmill. Bartlett & Plummer's mill turns out 
large quantities of long and short lumber for a ready market. The birch novelty 
mill has been in operation many years and is doing a rapidly increasing business. 
It furnishes employment to a large number of hands and gives a ready market 
for the birch timber of the surrounding country. During the past few years H. 
W. Kennerson, the popular tailor of this village, has been manufacturing a pat- 
ented Garment Hanger of his own invention. Many of the articles have been 
sold throughout the eastern part of the country thus asserting the good quality 
of the article. Being in the path of trade with the Dead River region, in 
which so much has been done in the lumber industry, this village has not suf- 
fered from the changes that have been made in Franklin and Somerset counties 
in the last quarter of a century, so much as has the West Village. It has been 
the headquarters of many prominent business men and has been a trade center in 
this section of Somerset County for many years. In Nov., 1890, the village was 
visited by a very severe fire in which a large part of the business portion was de- 
stroyed. However, new and better buildings have been erected on the sites of 
the old ones and the town has gradually recovered from its loss. Among the 
new places of business that have come up are the following: The large and mod- 
ern store of Chas. H. Clark & Sous, a firm well and favorably known, doing a 
large business covering a large area; the Dirigo block, occupied by Everett 
Quint, the proprietor of the Dirigo House, a hotel popularly known to the travel- 
ling public, and by Elmer Quint, grocery and general stores; and D. H. Knowles' 
modern store in which a general merchandise business in done. Among the losses 
from the fire most keenly felt was that of Columbian Hall, an excellent public 
building. In 1900 definite plans were formed for the erection of a building to 
• take its place. A stock company was formed with a capital of about Is- 000 - and 
a large and commodious structure was built, furnishing a much needed improve- 
ment to the village and adding much to its good appearance. Among the new 
places of business opened in the village in recent years is that of Ora Henderson.

CARRABASSETT CREAMERY. 
In the month of November, 1899, definite action was taken for the building 
of a creamery at East New Portland. After canvassing the situation carefully 
the leading men of the town organized a stock company knowu as the Carrabas- 
sett Creamery Company, and commenced selling the stock which was nearly all 
taken within the limits of the town. The factory is located near the residence 
of Win. Parsons, and was made ready for the beginning of business in the month 
of March, 1900. The officers and directors were as follows: President, H. F. 
Weymouth; Secretary and Treasurer, A. S. Parsons; Directors, F. F. Caswell, Car- 
roll Caswell, Cephas Walker, Jas. F. Coruforth, John G. True, F. S. Boynton, J. 
D. Hewitt, and H. T. Emery. The factory is under the personal direction of 
Thomas Johnson, an experienced butter maker. F.F.Caswell is the general 
manager of the business. Too much cannot be said in urging the utmost loyalty 
on the part of our townspeople to this new and valuable home industry. Our 
excellent pasture lands and other agricultural facilities furnish abundant means 
for promoting this work. The product of the factory is of the very highest qual- 
ity and a ready market at excellent prices awaits every pound of its output. Let 
all stand by the new home industry! 

FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY. 
In December, 1894, the subject of mutual protection from fire losses was tak- 
en under consideration by the leading farmers of the town, and the New Portland 
Mutual Fire Insurance Company was organized as a result of their deliberation. 
Business was begun in March, 1895, with Hiram F. Weymouth, President; A. D. 
Brackley, Secretary; and A. S. Parsons, Treasurer. The company has had few 
losses and has a large number of policy holders, all of whom express satisfaction 
over the result of the adventure.

THE FAMOUS 



FUR CI 

FOR GENTLEMEN 
AND LADIES. 

Made only in St. Paul, Minn., 
by the most skillful workmen 
in the world, and 

FULLY WARRANTED. 

"NORTH STAR" means Style, Fit, Wear and Satis- 
faction, and costs no more than inferior coats without a 
warrant. 

We recommend "North Star" coats for the following reasons: 
There is no acid used in dressing the skins, therefore they will not 
stiffen by wetting. The seams are sewed with a double, waxed linen 
thread and will not rip. And above all the skins are natural color. 

Ladies can now have coats cut to fit and not be obliged to wear 
men's coats- Our line is complete for gentlemen and ladies in the fol- 
lowing materials; linings and trimmings to suit: 

Black Chinese Dog, Martin, Goat, 
Wombat, Spanish Lamb, 

Kangaroo, Galloway Calf, Raccoon, 

Curly Pup, Cub Bear, 

Brazilian Dog, Etc*, Etc, 

Our best advertisment is a satisfied wearer of "North Star" coats. 
Talk with them, --they are plenty.
